Practical tips for your stay at the airport
Given the current situation, you and your travelers should allow more time at the airport, especially if you want to check in your baggage. In this regard, please note that the fast lanes and priority lanes at the security checkpoints may also be congested.
Travelers are asked to use the self-service bag drop kiosks for baggage drop-off. Baggage receipts for checked baggage will be issued at the kiosk.
At some airports it is possible to check in the baggage the evening before to save valuable time on the day of departure.
If possible, try to reduce your hand luggage to the minimum to shorten long waiting times at the security checkpoints.
We have reopened many of our lounges. Current information on our lounge services and the respective locations can be found here:
